I AM DRIVEN... OR BETTER, I FEEL A DEEP, RADICAL LOVE OF PAINTING AND DRAWING. FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS, NOT A DAY HAS GONE BY WITHOUT ME PURSUING MY DESIRE TO PUT SOMETHING ON PAPER. WHY PRODUCE SO MANY PICTURES TODAY?
IT IS MY CONVICTION THAT IT IS WORTHWHILE TO FACE THE FLOOD OF IMAGES NOT WITH IGNORANCE, BUT ACTIVELY: TO WELCOME THE EXCESSIVE DEMANDS, TO GRASP NEW PERSPECTIVES, TO HIGHLIGHT NARRATIVES, TO CAPTURE THE VAST THROUGH DETAILS. IN OTHER WORDS: TO DEVELOP A PROGRESSIVE AND ARTISTIC POSITION FROM A CONSTANT CONFRONTATION WITH THE REAL.
THEREFORE, I FOCUS ON PRODUCING IMAGES, BOOKS, AND EXHIBITIONS THAT COUNTER THE POWERLESSNESS, ARBITRARINESS, AND DISORIENTATION OF THE PRESENT TIME.
